📌ZT:”Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — the law firm that Paul Manafort hired as part of his work for Ukraine — has reached a settlement with DOJ, agreeing to register retroactively as a foreign agent & pay $4.6M (the money it earned for that work)”

@PortlusGlam (2/17) "The Ukraine-to-Russia backchannel was falling apart. It was February 2017, and the public had just begun to reel from the revelation that...Michael Flynn was caught on intercepts negotiating sanctions with a Russian official."

@PortlusGlam "Despite DOJ warnings that the former-DNI head was likely compromised, the White House was revealed to have done nothing to act. And worst of all for the Trump Administration, the existence of a secret “Peace Plan” for Crimea had been leaked . . ."

Just a reminder that Rudy Giuliani was notably celebrating at the Trump DC hotel bar the night James Comey was fired (5/9/17). He was visiting with pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarchs in Ukraine, just before that time as well.

I just gotta say this, and it might take a while and I am probably gonna cry...

I get into a lot of discussions with people who have no idea the state of world we were actually in leading up to @realDonaldTrump, nor where it was going to end up. Thank you God!!!

The #AmericanPeople have been forced into basic slave labor. Unions took over personal #freedoms in the work place, making it impossible to do anything without the #mob without risk of getting fired. #Unions also allowed people that did nothing to keep their #jobs

(8/16 or 9/16) "A mobile ph traced to...Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, leaving an electronic record to support claims...Cohen met secretly there w/Russian officials..."

"The phone and surveillance data, which have not previously been disclosed, lend new credence to a key part of a former British spy’s dossier of Kremlin intelligence describing purported coordination between Trump’s campaign and Russia’s election meddling operation."

Ivan "Fursin’s longtime biz associate...Firtash, has an off-again, on-again partnership w/Manafort. Together, they tried to buy the Drake Hotel in Manhattan for a cool $850M. Firtash also bankrolled Ukraine’s Party of Regions."

@carolecadwalla (10/31/17) "...Tchenguiz and Kaupthing said on Tuesday they had settled a 2.2B pound lawsuit brought by the RE mogul after a botched Serious Fraud Ofc investigation into the Icelandic bank’s collapse during the credit crisis."

@carolecadwalla "Iranian-born Vincent and his brother Robert, two of Britain’s most high-profile property entrepreneurs, have said the SFO investigation into the 2008 collapse of Kaupthing [an ICELANDIC bank] caused lasting damage to their reputations and businesses."

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and other leaders of the Democratic Party MUST denounce ANTIFA before someone gets hurt. Their violence and #Mob behavior have gone too far. This is America. We are waiting.

This is not acceptable. Sure #FakeNewsCNN and other liberal MSM are giving tepid denunciations but they must call out those on the left (DNC) who are silent.

Not once did we see conservatives out in the streets protesting or burning down buildings when the Democrats seized the House. It was accepted. Why can't the left do the same? #MOBS

@ddale8@juliaioffe@Milbank Milbank also documented back in 2016 what many people saw but didn’t focus on in its connectedness: the code words and anti-Semitic messages of the Trump campaign. Many media members still bought into the “good Jews” in the WH (Javanka) or “errors” 3/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/anti-…

FEDERAL Police stand guard along road being used by #US-bound, fm #CentralAmerican migrants walking from Ciudad Hidalgo to Tapachula, Mexico 10/21. Officers who WOULD NOT identify themselves say their Instructions are to maintain the flow of traffic, NOT to STOP the caravan.

@realDonaldTrump 10/17/18...disrupt the illicit movement of cash, weapons, drugs across our shared border as well as the issue of stemming illegal immigration and ...corruption and human rights abuses, and bringing members of transnational criminal organizations to justice.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/20…

💥See, Mogilevich sent Ivankov to buy a condo in Trump Tower for a reason- so he could launder money thru his casinos & real estate. But he never trusts anybody, so he plants ‘bugs’ to keep track of his money. Putin does it too. It’s future Kompromat💥

💥🏙💥Saudia Arabia owns the entire 45th floor of Trump Tower. Imagine what they can hear and what they could see... It’s likely they thought it was a perfect vantage point to watch their pilots fly into the WTC. They bought it just 3 months before 9/11

Been meaning to do a tread on Robert Friedman's "Red Mafiya" for a while, so since Dotard keeps bullshitting with his low energy projection of MOB, I'll show you the real mob. The mob that owns the Orange Clown.

First here is Friedman's story from 1998 in the Village Voice that enraged Semion Mogilevich so much he put a 100k bounty on his head after it was published.

A Russian-American businessman who donated a substantial sum to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election effort boasted to a senior figure in Moscow that he was “actively involved” in the Republican candidate’s campaign, the Guardian can reveal.

Kukes said he was helping Trump with “strategy development” & shared photos of his 29-year-old Ru girlfriend posing w Trump.

Kukes made the claims to Vyacheslav Pavlovsky, a career Kremlin official & former amb to Norway. Pavlovsky is currently vp of Russian Railways.

AMI/The National Enquirer is not owned by @realdonaldtrump’s pal, David Pecker. It’s owned by Chatham Asset Management (hedge fund).🤨

Chatham & another Chatham co. manage **$500 million of #NJ state pension funds & $125 million of #OH state pension funds** and are raising new money/trying to refinance **$450 million in AMI debt**. Only w/Chatham’s support did Pecker keep control of AMI.
